Miami City Ballet opens its 26/27 Season with a sparkling mixed bill that weaves together classical brilliance, jazzy elegance, and an electrifying world premiere!
The program kicks off with George Balanchine’s Allegro Brillante—a kinetic burst of technical precision and youthful exuberance that defined his neoclassical style. Then follows a world premiere by former MCB Principal Dancer Patricia Delgado, crafted in collaboration with award-winning composer and songwriter Emily Estefan. This work marks a homecoming for both artists, whose shared artistic roots in Miami have blossomed into careers defined by their highly tuned musicality. Ending the evening with a bang, the company premiere of Jerome Robbins’ seminal work Opus Jazz infuses the improvisational spirit of American jazz into classic ballet vocabulary.
Join us for a curated evening that honors ballet’s lineage while embracing the thrill of new artistic synergy.
